Hello warriors,

I have been playing around with Bing Ads service. The problem I have is that when I look at the numbers of clicks my ad has gotten (31) and then compare the stats on google analytics (21) the info I get does not make sense.

How is it posible that bing tells me that 31 persons click the ad and landed on my web and when looking at the analytics the mayority of those clicks wont appear ?

Just wanted to know if anybody could help me on these issue.

Thxs a lot.

    Note that it can take 48 hours or so for certain stats to show in Google Analytics. Chances are if you compare a range of stats that are no more recent than 2-3 days, the numbers should be a lot closer to each other (though perhaps still not identical).

      The only stat that matters is bing. Only they will show what
      they feel is a real click.

      I guess I gotta ask if you have either set up correctly.
      Urls? Is yahoo and bing lumped together? Etc.

      I am not sure how google would know that a visitor got to
      a certain url from a real and valid click.

      I second waiting. But then, if one has to wait, time is lost and
      time is money.
